Ready In
- Gently stir the strawberries and sugar together in a bowl. Cover and let sit at room temperature until juices release, about 1 hour.
- Divide fruit between 2 small, clear serving bowls or stemmed cocktail glasses.
- Place egg yolks, sugar, and marsala into metal mixing bowl. Set over burner on low heat. Hold rim of bowl with a potholder. Whisk until mixture forms loose peaks, 7 or 8 minutes. Mixture should feel warm to the touch.
- Spoon custard over the strawberries. Serve while custard is still warm.
Footnotes
- Cook's Note:
- Instead of placing the metal mixing bowl over low heat to whisk the custard, you can set the bowl over a pot of slowly simmering water.
